INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Artspace Summer Arts Program! Artspace is happy to present our 19th summer of offering intensive-yet-fun, project-oriented classes for youths (rising 3rd - 10th graders), College Prep Classes for Rising 9th graders and up, and workshops for Adults (age 16 and up). Artspace Summer Arts Program provides a unique opportunity for students to work directly with professional artists and gain quality experience through hands-on activities.

In this brochure you will discover some exciting *New Classes* for YOUTHS (Rising 3rd-10th grade) such as TIME FOR TEA with Tarrah Goforth, HIP HANDBAGS with Anna Podris, and FUN WITH FELT with Rachel Nicholson, along with old favorites such as SILKSATIONAL SILK PAINTING with Emily Howard and HAND PAPERMAKING with John Dancy-Jones. In addition, you will find two College Prep level classes.

Artspace is proud to present Eileen Doktorksi as our Summer Artist-In-Residence. For the month of July, Eileen will be welcoming visitors to her studio, Artspace’s Gallery One. She will be creating artwork for her Artspace exhibition that will open in conjunction with the August 1st First Friday Gallery Walk.

Please note that we have two separate brochures – one advertising our Youth Classes and one specifically advertising our Adult Classes. Be sure to peruse both – you are sure to find something of interest for the whole family!
